Cinder Walks Will Replace 'Board Walks AR, Ajax--The condition of many of the old wooden sidewalks, relic of war years, have been causing the Board of Trusties of Ajax grave concern, the side walk north on Harwood Ave. is now being replaced by a cinder path. Similar work will done in bad places elsewhere in the town, a cement sidewalk will be laid from the Bank of Commerce to Arbor Lodge. The entrance to the Re- creation Centre will be replaced by a cinder pathwey. Mr. Brock, who will operate the bowling alleys in the Recreation Centre, plans to renovate the en- trance and make some structural changes inside to make its opera- tion efficient and hopes to have the work completed before opening early in September. Filter Plant To Purify Ranch Water Pleasure Valley Rar Ranch, the well- known playground of Oshawa North has had one notable improvement added to its many pleasure-giving features. Children who enjoy the grassy, tree-shaded acres with their riding horses, swings and unique miniature railway, will be glad to know that the capacious swimming pool, with its 185,000 gallon capacity, will now be supplied with clear, filtered wat- er, at a steady rate. George R. James, who runs Pleasure Valley with amiable ef- ficiency, says that his new filtra- tion plant will pour 165,000 gallons into the two pools every twenty- four hours. The equipment has been installed and appears to be giving satisfaction. Singing Mayor Has New Style Prince Albert, ort, Sask. (CP) Mayor J. M. Cuelenaere said, "If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time" to Resources Min- ister Winters at a recent banquet. The mayor jokingly adopted the new approach in a reference to civic attempts to get certain con- struction projects approved by the federal government. Mr. Winters replied it was a "beautiful sentiment, @:but he was glad the mayor had left the word "if" in the serenade. matter of taxes," the federal min- er said. "You know how the ple like to pay additional taxes." "It's all a, Oshawa Man Wonders If Honesty Pays ¥M honesty is the best policy it is perhaps a good thing that virtue brings its own reward. An Oshawa resident who wished to remain anonymous found a purse the other day on 2A Highway, It contained a number of papers and $147 in cash. From perusal of the papers the resident was able to find a name and an address. He called a police station in Toronto near- est to where he believed the address to be and later was given another Toronto number to call. He telephoned and con- tacted the owner of the purse. The wallet' and its contents was sent by mail and the Osh- awan received a short "thank you" mote in return. It con- tained "a small token of my appreciation"--$1. The telephone calls and post: age came to $2.68. Honesty's re- ward in this case--a $1.68 def- icit, Restaurants Not All They|- Should Be Oshawa's restaurants are still not all they should. be in the way of hygiene. For the second month in succession, health reports show that half of the spot-check bacter- iological inspections made in res- taurants came under the "poor" heading. Those tests are made by L. Slaght, the Sanitary Inspector, on restaurant crockery. "That does not show much im- provement," said Dr, A. F. Mackay, the Medical Officer of Health, Last month, after reading similar fig- ures, Dr. Mackay thought dish- washers should learn their trade. Housing complaints investigated by: Mr. Slaght this year are already higher than the total number made in 1950. Last year 91 housing com- plaints were investigated and in the first six months of this year the figure was 98. Twenty-two hous- ing inspections made during July brought 1951's total of inspections to 252 compared with 263 for the whole of last year. Five inspections were made of beverage rooms and 17 of barber shops. Fifty water samples were taken, Many Septic Tank Permits Are Issued The growth of Oshawa by an- nexation of parts of East Whitby Township is reflected in health Mrs. Willa statistics. More septic tank per- | mits were issued last month than | | would have been issued In. about three years before the annexation. John Goulding, the Plumbing In- spector, reported in his returns for July that he had issued 31 septic tank permits during the month. "This department is being kept very active," was the comment of Dr. A, F, Mackay, the Medical Officer of Health. "Those figures for septic tanks are high." Indicative of building work going on is the fact that during July 66 plumbing permits were issued for new buildings and 76 inspections were made of plumbing installa- tions being put Into new houses. Fourteen inspections were made of plumbing in houses ready for oc- cupancy and Mr. Goulding inspect- ed 19 septic tanks.

Note:--The band shell has been repainted during the holidays. Association Auxiliary Names Officers GLADYS SIMONS Correspondent Westmount--Mrs., Earl Stauffer Lwas elected chairman of the Ladies' "Auxiliary of the Fernhill Neighborhood Association at night. Mrs. Lloyd Horner was elected vice-chairman; Mrs. Rueben Monaghan, secretary and Mrs. Walter Hurrie, treasurer. Harold Wilson, vice - chairman of the Association, in opening the meeting told the women present how very necessary a Ladies' Aux- iliary was to any organization: "An organizatiog without a Ladie® Aux- iliary is like a car without a motor." After the elections were over the ladies discussed means of raising money for the work to be done in connection with the park. Mis Janet Benson, supervisor of the park, has already .started to canvass the area for contributions for a white elephan sale to be held Monday, August 20, at Ferghill Park. Dozens of articles were sug- gested as suitable contributions: used toys, cakes, pies, books, maga=- zines, vases, empty jam-jars--in fact, anything they might be able to sell. Several women volunteer- ed to make up large quantities of freshie and send it over for the chil- dren. Plans for a bingo were completed but it was decided to postpone the event so that it could be held in conjunction with the jamboree-- which will probably take place at the end of this month. The open air meeting was lighted by a string of lights set up by Har- old Wilson and Mervin Owen. All the benches provided for the meet- ing were filled but there were still twice as many youngsers playing in the area on the slides, teeter totters -and swings, .HERO'S CHILD DIES Toronto (CP) -- Police constable Ronald Anderson raced death in his cruiser Monday and lost. His five - year - old daughter was' the victim. Anderson -- who won a ci- tation for heroism for rescues dur- ing the Noronic fire, Sept. 17, 1949, when 119 lives Were lost -- tobk his child to hospital after his wife phoned him that the girl was choking. WINGED TERROR North Bay (CP) -- A chicken hawk which swooped down on a farm near here killed 29 chickens without touching them. The chick- ens crowded into a corner of their | coop trying to escape the invader land were smothered to death. Park | a | meeting held in Fernhill Park last Harwood Avenue Business Men Seek Annexation To Ajax Improvement Area (STAFF SPECIAL) Ajax--The highlight of the meet- ing of the board of trustees of Ajax, held in the board room of York Hell last night, was the appearance of a deputation representing the Farwood Avenue Business Men's Association with a formal request for information regarding the pos- sibility of Ajax annexing the lands on which their businesses are situat- ed. 'The deputation was received very sympathetically by the board which is fully aware of most of their prob- lems, Vice-Chairman Mills advised them to prepare a plan showing the property of interested persons and try and define a suggested boundary to include the proposed area. The matter then will be discussed more fully at a special meeting. Meanwhile, the board will seek in- formation as to procedure and judge the merits and demerits of the proposal. BUY SCHOOL EQUIPMENT Meeting first as School Trustees, the board examined and approved them for payment, also approved purchase of 40 desks and chairs for the kincergarten in the South Jun- jor School. It was disclosed that school paint- ing and Tenovation was @most com- pleted ready for school opening on | September 4. C. Degeer was re- hired as part-time janitor for the coming school term. The trustees then meeting as a Board of Trustees, proceeded with municipal affairs, SEEK BUS SERVICE . Correspondence was read includ- ing a letter from Mr, Beynon re- garding the possibility of commenc- ing a regular bus service within Ajax. The Board instructed Secre- tary 'B. Falby to request further pepticulars from Mr. Beynon re- garding his proposition and finan- cial stability. The old garbage: dunip question was revived and it has now been sold and the purchaser will be re- quired to leave same in condition so that the area may be covered. The new garbage dump is now situated immediately south of the sewage disposal plant. Public, rity in the affairs of Ajax has definitely quickened judg- ed by the large number of residents present with very well thought out questions to put to the board. W, Jordan expressed concern at the number of dogs still running at large close to his home, and ask- ed the very pertinent question "Did the dog by-law include all dogs or just some of them." The Board in- structed the secretary to pass on the complaint to Corporal Murray Bruce of Provincial Police, Ajax detach- ment for immediate action. MANY QUESTIONS Many and varied were the ques- tions regarding alterations and im- provements to houses in the upper part of Ajax. Obviously these ques- tions were from those persons who have 'so recently become 'owners. Questions regarding cellars were re- ferred to Mr. B. Robinson, CM.H.C. engineer who can furnish full in- formation. The people were also informed that the trustees are in process of formulating a building by-law which would cover local conditions; this by-law may be ready for first read- ing et. the next regular meeting. HELD FOR INVESTIGATION A request was received for a li- WR to install and service oil heat- ers, this matter was held over for investigation. Persons desiring to install oil burning equipment must now obtain a permit from Fire Chief Winters who will inspect and advise regarding any stich installa- tions. T. Veitch questioned the absence Let Contract Operation Of Bowling Alley It was announced today by W. W. Rideout, assistant manager of Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration, that the contract to operate the bowling alleys and can- teen situated in the Ajax Rec. Centre had been awarded to Harry Brock. Mr. Brock brings to his new venture a wealth of experience gained in that same location. Some nine years ago when Rec. Centre opened for Defence Industries em- ployees. Mr. Brock was in charge and all through the war years and later with University of To- ronto, Ajax Division, Mr, Brock was intimately concerned with the management and direction of all the recreation facilities which have been described as the fullest in- dustrial recreation program any- where in Canada. Mr. Brock or Harry as he.lis known to a host of friends in Ajax is quite a versatile actor having played both vaudeville and Shake- speare. He has toured ever state of the Union, New Mexico, every province in Canada including the Yukon and Newfoundland. This experience he is prepared to -use in bringing almost every type of entertainment to Ajax people. At present he is operating suc- cessfully his own bowling establish- ment in Harwood Avenue, North Ajax. ship flag poles. He stated that in his opinion, it' wolild be a fine thing to have our flag flying at all times, both on the schools and particular- ly on the flag pole in the centre of the municipality, where the camp of displaced persons is situated so that those people can understand that we soe believe in what our flag means; . freedom from want and fear, The -Board promised to do some- thing about the question and it was learned after the meeting that the vice-chairman would provide the flags but definitely refused to climb any poles to replace worn out hal- yard SEEK MONTHLY REPORT 'The Board passed a resolution in- structing the Fire Chief to furnish the Board with a monthly state- ment of activities, inspections, train- ing, etc, undertaken by the Fire Brigade, Another resolution promoting Fireman Ray Found to Lieutenant, was also passed. Applications for a position on the Fire Brigade were held for personal interview with applicants. Accounts totalling $6,751.74 were passed 'and approved. Mention was made at the close of the meeting of the tragic death of James Compton, a public school boy, from polio and the Board ex- pressed its sincere sympathy to the bereaved parents and sister. Parents are warned not to take any chances and at the first sign of any unfavorable symptoms to seek medical advice. The meeting adjourned at 9.45 pm, LOCATE OLD CANNON London (CP) -- Men digging a trench for new cables in Southwark uncovered the barrel of an ancient cannon. It was identified as a oe, |of flags on the schools and town- {of the Napoleonic wars. Nurses Visit 110 Infants During July Advice and reassurance are given to every new 'mother in Oshawa by members of the Public Health Nursing Staff. Last month they visited 110 new-born infants under the age of one month, "We like to visit all new mothers and their infants as soon as possible, within two or three weeks if we can," said Dr. A. PF. Mackay, Medical Officer of Health, yesterday. "Some of the mothers are green and inexperienced, although many of them are very well educated. They get into a panic at quite nor- mal little infant complaints so we like to give them useful advice. Of course, we also check on the health of the infants." SKIN ERUPTIONS During recent months there has been an outbreak of skin eruptions among infants and Dr. Mackay re- vealed that Oshawa was visited last morith by the Inspector of Hospi- tals for 'the Province of Ontario and he was accompanied on his trip by his chief bacteriologist. The reason for the visit was not di- vulged. Dr. Mackay said he was pleased to be able to announce that there was evidence that between 556 and 60 per cent of the city's youngsters were being immunized through private doctors--which relieved the burden on .the city's. staff. Once again he stressed the great value of immunization if it is properly car- ried through all its forms. 536 PEOPLE VISITED During July the health staff 'vis- ited 536 people, representing 383 homes, and 107 infants attended the child health centre at Legion Hall. Visits to school children have already -exceeded last year's total. In 1950 there were 383 visits and in the first seven months of this year the staff has made 384 visits. Visits to adults are three times the number for last year--33 visits in seven months to nine visits in one year. Post-partum with pre- natal care visits are also up on last year's with 499 visits so far this year compared with 468 during 1950. A more unfortunate trend is in the acute communicable di- seases class with 268 visits so far this year, 37 of them in July, as against only 123 for the whole of last year. Another disturbing trend. accord- ing to Dr. Mackay, is in tuber- culosis. During July there were four new cases reported which "is plenty for one month," as Dr. Mac- kay says. Four people were ad- mitted to sanatoria, one of them being a re-admission of a. patient who left against advice. Hunting Fish With Radar For Big | Hauls Oslo, Norway, CP--A scientific hunt for the elusive herring now being conducted by a Norwegian | research vessel may have big ef- fects on the world's fish catch, The G. O. Sars, equipped with the latest in electronic depth and dis- tance detectors, is plying the deep waters of the North Atlantic trying to chart accurately the movements of the big herring shoals: Main object of the present search is to find out whether the bulk of the herring are heading for the fishing banks north of Iceland, or in the direction '0 fthe Antarctic island of Jan Mayen where they were found last year. This is the third expedition in a year to be launched by the Nor- wegian director -of fisheries to track down the herring. Last sum- mer the crew of the Sars traced herring away down south with help of the radar device known as "Asdic." Three large fishing ves- sels which followed their directions made good catches. Further research discovered the general route taken by the herring in its search for food during the summer months. Last December the Sars again sailed to the cold waters off Iceland and vast shoals of herring found in that area were followed to the Norwegian coast. Fishing fleets lying in Norway's coastal waters are kept constantly informed of the progress of the sur- |. vey and recently, for the first time in history, big catches were made more than .100 miles off shore. ANNUAL MOVEMENT By these voyages Norway hopes to be able to locate the herring from May until the shoals return to 'Norwegian coastal waters in January. But no one has discover- ed what makes the herring take these annual migrations, Zoologists of the 19th century be- lieved the herring which came to western Norway spent the rest of the year in deep water off the Norwegian coast. About 1870 however the Norwe- gian expert, George Ossian Sars, proved the amount of plankton found at such depths was not enough to feed the herring and reasoned their home would have to be the large expanse known rough- iy as the Norwegian ocean. Since Sars advanced this theory it has been the dream of marine zoologists to determine the home of the herring before and after the spawning season, Only within the last few years have instruments been produced which offer hope of finding the solution. The echo depth sounder made possible the locating of herring to shoals divectly below the ship. De- Rotary Pool Will Be Very Busy Spot Throughout Day Beginning tomorrow at Rotary Swimming Pool the 1951 Red Cross Swimming tests will get underway. Starting in the morning at 9 a.m. those who want to try for their Jun- ior Swimmer's Badge will be tested. At 2.30 p.m. those for Intermediate certificate will try while in the evening at 6.30 p.m. all those wanting to try through their paces. their Senior test will be put Last year Oshawa had quite a record as 112 passed Junior, Intermediate and Senior tests. ® Mrs. Moodie, Red Cross Swime Cooling Lack Drops Quality Milk Supply Hot weather plays havoc with Oshawa's milk supply. Returns submitted by Food Inspector J. W. Watt showed that 105 milk samples were taken during July and only 61 per cent. of them were of ac- ceptable quality. Lack of cooling facilities is blamed for lowering the standard. ; Of the '105 samples taken, 52 were of Grade 1 and 12 of Grade 2, the two satisfactory grades. In his footnotes to the statistics, Mr. Watt reports that there are at present about 24 producers ship- ping milk: into Oshawa who have not got proper cooling facilities at th farms, Without efficient cooling, milk rapidly deteriorates to a low grade, despite sound sani- tary practices elsewhere in the pro- duction procedure. "It is, therefore, impossible for these shippers to produce consis- tently good quality milk for several months of the year," comments Mrs. Watt. Some of the farmers who had adequate cooling facilities failed to use them properly. Even more tel- ling were temperature tests made during July. Forty-nine tempera- tures were taken and 28 of them were recorded over 60 degrees F., which is the Government limit. Milk cooled properly at the farm arrives at any dairy in Oshawa un- der 60 degrees F. Food officials took samples at the dairies to eliminate any possible time factor. During july 48 visits were made to dairy farms and 96 individual, cow. samples were taken. Dr. A. F. Mackay explained that cows were tested while locked in the stalls so that animals that did not pass the test: could be noted and kept apart. Ont of the 96 cow sam- ples, 20 were of the two lowest grades of milk. ' . During a particularly busy month, Mr, Watt visited 38 slaughter- houses and inspected 78 carcases, condemning 12 animal livers that were parasitic or abscessed. Two butcher shops were visited and Mr. Watt also found enough time to at- tend the Ontario Veterinary As- sociation Convention for one' day. His total visits for the month were Ask Officer Conciliate Wage > Dispute The United Steelworkers of Amer- ica today applied to the Ontario Labor Relations Board for the ser- vices of a conciliation officer in its contract negotiations with the Bow- manville Foundry Company. The move followed a meeting last night between Union and Company repre- sentatives when no agreement was reached on the Union's contract re- newal proposals. With its contract coming up for 'renewal September 11, the Union asked the Company for a substan- tial wage * raise. = The Company argued that under a cost of living adjustment clause the Union has|' received 19 cents an hour since last September and , consequently the "ming examiner, will be putting the applicants through their paces tos morrow.
